Hidden Animal Drawing


Description: 

I class today we first created these super cool glasses with a red film as the lenses. Then we picked an animal to draw on a white piece of paper. I had to draw the animal upside-down. It was pretty challenging but I am happy with how mine turned out. I drew a monkey in a tree first with a blue colored pencil. Then I had to draw random things with red, yellow and orange (the warm colors). I drew enough items so you couldn't see the monkey at all. Then when you put on the glasses you can see the monkey in the background. Kids would be super impressed by this because it seems kind of like magic! 


Extension Activity: 

For an extension activity for this project I would have the students write stories based on their pictures. Following the same idea we did with the three hints. I would have them write the story as if they were the animal in the picture, with out revealing what the animal is. For example, "I like to climb trees all day with my long arms." After reading the story the reader should be able to figure out what animal is hidden in the picture. Then let the reader put on the glasses to see if they were right!

Printmaking

                                        Description - The topic of this project was printmaking and this was the lesson I taught. To begin this project the student colored in a circle from the inside out to create the background. Next they drew a design on a small piece of paper. Next they taped their paper to a small Styrofoam piece of paper and began to trace over it. Then they took off the paper and traced over their lines on the Styrofoam again. The students rolled paint over their Styrofoam and placed it on their paper. They rolled the back of the Styrofoam to transfer the paint. When they peeled back the Styrofoam the design was on their paper. They repeated the printing process three more times. Extension Activity-  An extension activity could be having the students share with a partner why they chose the design they did. Then explain to their partner how it shows rad...

Elements and Principles

Elements and Principles I chose this image I took when I was at home after a rain storm. This image represents space because when you look at the picture it seems like you can look far into the distance. The road gets smaller as you look further away. The trees in the distance are also smaller, which helps give the image depth. This picture I took of my grandpa's puppies shows unity because all of the puppies are close to each other and are the same breed, color and size.  This picture I took of the sunset over the lake shows value because there are many different shades of lightness and darkness. Next to the sunset the water is really orange and as it gets closer to the dock its much darker.  This picture I took of the adorable boys I nanny shows emphasis because when looking at this picture your eyes automatically go to the boys looking at the water in their bright shirts. They are also off centered which makes them stand out even more compare...

Crayon and Oil Pastel

Description - We did a scratch art project with a snowy theme. First we drew our project onto a piece of paper. I drew a snowman and some kids sledding in the back to show depth. Then, we traced our drawing onto the scratch art sheet. After that I took the paper off and drew directly onto the scratch art. Extension activity-  An extension activity for this project could be using these sheets to have the students do math problems. It would be a fun and engaging way for them to work on their math skills. It is different so the students would automatically be excited to use it.
